HUB/Minority & Women-Owned Business (M/WBE) Subcontracting Support

The contract requires support for the prime vendor’s obligation to allocate at least 10 percent of subcontracted work to Historically Underutilized Businesses, including minority-owned and women-owned firms, in alignment with North Carolina’s HUB program standards. Compliance must be demonstrated through verifiable service delivery and adherence to state-specific requirements for certification, reporting, and documentation to ensure accountability and transparency in subcontracting practices. The effort is tied to NAICS code 541611 and is managed by the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, with performance expectations to be fully realized under the state’s HUB framework. Submission responses are due by July 20, 2026, and the solicitation is open for subcontracting support services that enable the prime vendor to meet its statutory and programmatic commitments to diversity and inclusion in contracting. The work will be conducted within North Carolina, and all participants must maintain records and provide evidence of HUB participation as mandated by state guidelines. No set-aside designation is specified, but the focus remains firmly on advancing participation from verified HUB entities through measurable, auditable subcontracting outcomes.
